Chapter 83 You exude... an alluring scent.
chapter 83
The weather was extremely hot; the sun was high in the sky at six o'clock, and its scorching rays shone down on the earth...
Meng Youcheng slightly twitched his eyelids, reluctant to open his eyes. He reached for the counter, picked up his glasses, and just as he put them on, Jiang Yuming in his arms stirred…
The boy's head rested against his pale chest, holding him tightly...
Jiang Yuming shifted slightly, squinted, and looked up at the man. "Are you getting up, Uncle...?"
Meng Youcheng pushed up his glasses. "Didn't you sleep well? You were reading the script very late last night, and I told you not to move and to get some sleep."
"I……"
"Do you want to catch up on some sleep?"
Meng Youcheng looked down at him, "We're going to have a PK today, so your energy and spirit are the most important things. If you feel tired, take a break, and I'll wake you up at seven o'clock."
The boy rolled over, rubbed his eyes, and said, "No need."
……
At eight o'clock, they arrived at the recording site on time.
This is a small stage with several cameras pointed at the center. There are only staff members present; there are no audience members.
It's a live broadcast, officially starting at 9 o'clock.
Fang Tingting had already arrived at the scene and was making arrangements...
Although it was supposed to start at nine o'clock, Fang Tingting's team had to wait until ten o'clock...
The first match is against Ji Lin's team.
Their turn will be in the second round.
The actors, holding their scripts, looked preoccupied, reciting their lines one by one, their expressions intriguing...
Jiang Yu seemed much more normal now...
His role was small, an insignificant supporting character, and the chosen content was also disadvantageous for him...
It was a highly explosive piece of content.
For a young actor, he is better suited to acting through his eyes, rather than dramatic, explosive storylines.
Jiang Yuming kept reading the script, looking very focused...
He had put in a lot of effort. Last night, when Meng Youcheng was half-asleep, he saw Jiang Yuming diligently studying the script...
I hope everything goes smoothly.
However, he was still somewhat unwilling. If he had chosen Ji Lin, Jiang Yuming would definitely have gotten the lead role, and it would have been a role tailored to his personality...
But now...?
To prevent any unexpected situations from occurring after the show starts, Fang Tingting asked all the actors to try rehearsing first...
They took turns performing, but their performances varied greatly, and their portrayals were generally mediocre. Some even forgot their lines, and their expressions were far too exaggerated...
Jiang Yuming is alright, but because it's an intense scene, he sweats a lot after one take...
Unfortunately, the air conditioning here was broken, so in the first rehearsal, the boy performed the best, but because of that, he also sweated the most...
Meng Youcheng was somewhat worried...
He knew Jiang Yuming's health condition; if he sweated a lot and didn't clean it up in time, he would most likely catch a cold if he was exposed to a draft...
If I get a fever, things will become very complicated, and since it's currently my acting season, I definitely can't let that happen!
After the rehearsal, Meng Youcheng said goodbye to Fang Tingting, then pulled Jiang Yuming to the restroom...
"Uncle... what's wrong? Was my acting not good enough? Or... is there something wrong with it?"
The man shook his head, took a towel out of his backpack, and said, "You're sweating, you need to take care of yourself. If you catch a cold, all our preparations will be for nothing..."
Meng Youcheng closed the toilet door, holding a towel in one hand and using the other to lift the boy's clothes...
The man took a towel and carefully wiped himself, trying to absorb all the sweat from his body onto the towel...
He was wiping very carefully, paying no attention to the boy's expression, and even less to his actions...
Just then, a slender index finger suddenly pressed against Meng Youcheng's chin. Before the man could react, his head was forcefully lifted by the index finger, and the boy kissed his lips heavily.

……
The performance began, and it was Fang Tingting's team's turn.
Meng Youcheng watched from the side without saying a word.
"Do you know why Miss Fang wanted Jiang Yuming to play this role?"
The man turned his head and glanced at it...
Situ Ming smiled and looked at him. "It's actually very simple. Miss Fang intends to promote him. Anyone with a little acting experience knows that Jiang Yuming doesn't have a strong explosive ability, but most scripts have a lot of explosive plot points..."
"Therefore, we need to create something special. Every character deserves respect, even a minor supporting role. Ms. Fang, is the purpose of doing this to see if Mr. Jiang is aware of this?"
"Is she suitable to train me?"
Meng Youcheng ignored his question. "How is it? Mr. Ji seems to be treating you very well, right? Giving you the lead role..."
"Yes, thanks to Mr. Jiang. If he hadn't given up Teacher Ji, I wouldn't have gotten this role. But there's something I really want to tell him: he's naturally resourceful. In the entertainment industry..."
"If he doesn't know how to utilize his own strengths and just indulges in wishful thinking about winning through fair competition, then he will always be like this, unable to get good roles and only benefiting others..."
Meng Youcheng didn't continue the topic. Instead, he thought for a few minutes and asked, "Why...why do you keep wanting me to be your manager?"
"I might as well tell you, because I'm unwilling to accept this, I know the boss has been keeping an eye on Jiang Yuming, and I know why too, because he's the heir to the Jiang Group..."
"The boss always thinks of him first when it comes to good resources and good scripts. I'm just a supporting character. I'm not reconciled. Just because I come from a lower background, am I destined to pick up the things he doesn't want?"
"Script resources... I can't get those things, but you're different. You're mobile; you have choices. So I want to win you over and prove I'm better than him..."
"But right now... compared to all of that, I like you more, you know that, bro?"
"You have an alluring scent about you."
